Dryer Vent Cleaning
Homeownership is filled with never-ending maintenance tasks. While tedious, they’re necessary to preserve the safety and value of your property. Dryer vent cleaning is one such task that you may not think about much, but is crucial in order to reduce the risk of a house fire – and make sure your clothes actually dry in the dryer.
You can schedule dryer vent cleaning as a standalone service, or you can bundle it together with a house washing for a discounted rate.
Enjoy Dry Clothes - The First Time Around
Laundry is such a time-consuming process as it is – the last thing that you want is to go to fold the clothes in the dryer only to find that they’re not dry yet. Not only is it annoying having to run the dryer again, but if you needed to flip the wash, leaving a load in the washer increases the likelihood of wrinkles.
If you haven’t scheduled a dryer vent cleaning in a while, you may start to notice that your dryer isn’t operating as efficiently as it should be. This is because when lint builds up in the dryer vent, it restricts airflow which then causes your laundry to take longer to dry.
So, if you’ve been thinking about getting a new dryer because your dryer takes so long to dry your clothes, try scheduling a dryer vent cleaning first. Simply scheduling dryer vent cleaning as needed keeps your systems running more efficiently.
Reduce The Risk Of Dryer Fires
Lint buildup is the leading cause of dryer fires. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPTA) reports that dryers cause approximately $233 million in property damage. More than a third of the fires resulted from lack of routine maintenance.
Cleaning the lint trap as needed is a key part of preventing dryer fires. So too is dryer vent cleaning. Lint is highly flammable, as indicated by the fact that about 27% of dryer fires resulted from dust, fiber, or lint ignition.
Optimize Your Home’s Energy Efficiency
When your dryer vents have lint buildup in them, this reduced airflow forces your dryer to have to work harder for longer. The more you have to run your dryer, the higher your energy bills will be. Most people are already feeling the pinch of inflation without needing to add higher bills due to preventable reasons to the list.
You know the saying that: “Sometimes, you need to spend money to make money”? While it may be tempting to put off dryer vent cleaning to a later date, having it done as needed can actually save you money in the long run, because it preserves the lifespan and efficiency of your dryer.
How Often Should You Schedule Dryer Vent Cleaning?
The National Fire Protection Association recommends having your dryer vent cleaned once a year or more often if you notice that your laundry is taking longer to dry. That said, there are some tell-tale signs that you can watch for that may indicate that you’re due for a vent cleaning. Some of which are as follows:
- Increased drying time.
- The dryer becomes unusually hot.
- Your clothes come out unusually hot.
- You can smell burning.
As lint is extremely flammable, if you smell burning, you will want to stop the machine and call the appropriate professionals.

Dryer Vent Cleaning In And Around Columbus, Ohio
When you work with Cardinal Pressure Washing for your residential dryer vent cleaning, you’re working with a local, family-owned business that’s dedicated to providing top-notch results. Our dryer vent cleaning includes:
- Complimentary dryer vent inspection using a camera that will inspect the entire vent from the termination to the flexible hose behind the dryer. This process will confirm that the vent is in good condition and up to code before any cleaning tools enter the vent.
- Cleaning of entire dryer vent using a top-of-the-line pressurized reverse air system. Cleaning will take place from the exterior of the home and includes cleaning the entire dryer vent from the exterior termination to the flexible hose behind the dryer. The method used is industry standard for projects of this nature and will not cause damage to existing dryer venting systems.
- This service will be to clean the dryer vent only and does not cover the dryer itself or the flexible duct behind the dryer, if attached. Any issues including extreme blockages, birds nests, broken/split/missing covers, or other damages are not covered under this proposal. However, we do offer replacement of old, worn plastic covers with heavy duty steel vents as an add-on. These are equipped with magnetic closing lids to keep pests out. In this service, we will dispose of your old vent, supply and install the new one, and seal the back/sides of the new vent.
